Iran, a global transit route
TEHRAN - In an article, Donya-e-Eqtesad dealt with the implementation of the Tehran-Delhi agreement after 7 years.
It wrote: Iran's decisive response to Israel was the crossing of one of the most important red lines of the United States, and it was faced with only a diplomatic response from the United States. This caused India to change its policy and sign the Chabahar Agreement. Considering the current contract with India and the 25-year contract with China, we can hope that Iran will become an important corridor and transit center in the world in the coming years because Iran is supposed to become a part of China's Belt and Road Initiative and the Chinese will play an active role in the construction of refineries and petrochemical industries in this port and make long-term investments. Also, in the agreement with India, Chabahar is supposed to become an important transit center. According to these agreements between Iran and the great powers, it can be said that Iran is becoming one of the important transit hubs in the south of the Persian Gulf, and in the long term, it has the ability to play the role of a global intersection.
Etemad: Tehran's policy change towards the Caucasus
In a note, Etemad addressed the issue of Iran's strategy towards its northern neighbors and said: Iran is trying not to turn the Caucasus region into a venue for extra-regional competition. In a situation where both in Armenia and Azerbaijan the extra-regional actors are finding their place, Iran has warned both sides to avoid doing so. Due to its strategic connection with the Zionist regime, Baku can provoke regional conflicts. On the other hand, Armenia, which is under pressure from the United States and France, fears that this will damage its very close relations with Iran, and it will provoke the Russians to occupy Armenia. Therefore, the conflicts in three points of Ukraine, the Caucasus, and Gaza have had a major impact on Iran's security strategy. Iran's enemies, including the United States and the Israeli regime, have long sought to challenge Tehran in the Caucasus and even Central Asia, in addition to the Middle East. In this situation, Tehran has changed its policy towards the Caucasus and its results will be clearer in the future.
Jam-e-Jam: Diplomatic achievement of the True Promise operation
In an analysis, Jam-e-Jam pointed out another achievement that was made by the implementation of the "True Promise" operation for Iran. It wrote: According to some experts, this event is a diplomatic achievement, and the support of China and Russia prevented the condemnation of Iran's action in the UN Security Council. This diplomatic success was manifested in the retreat of the United States and made the Biden administration worried about the consequences of the war and pushed the American foreign policy system to restrain Tel Aviv in two actions. First, to prevent the preemptive operation of the Zionist regime before Iran's operation, and second, to prevent this regime's severe retaliation after Iran's operation. In the end, it can be said that the implementation of the True Promise operation is in favor of Iran and the Resistance Front as an action towards change in the balance of power. Iran intelligently and deliberately did not use the two elements of surprise and multilateralism in this operation and did not use its most advanced and powerful weapons. Iran sending the political message of this operation was more important than its technical strike.
Hamshahri: Strategic competition in Chabahar
In an interview with former Iranian diplomat Mohsen Rouhi Sefat, Hamshahri investigated the strategic competition in Chabahar and wrote: Iran and India are taking forward steps in the development of bilateral cooperation in Chabahar port, an issue that, according to the strategic importance of this port in the region, is considered one of the basic agendas of both sides. According to Indian officials, the agreement between Iran and India can be a trust-building factor for world businessmen. Despite the importance of Chabahar port for the Chinese, Indians are not very interested in China's presence in Chabahar because they consider this country as their "strategic rival" in the region. Therefore, it should be considered that Chabahar port is one of the bottlenecks of geopolitical developments in the region. We hope that with this development, both sides will take a big step towards advancing the specified strategies in the field of cooperation in Chabahar. The point here is that the expansion of relations between Iran and India is not against the Islamic Republic's relations with China or Pakistan. Also, expanding our cooperation with Pakistan or China does not mean ignoring the importance of Tehran-New Delhi relations.
